According to EWTN News, this year&#8217;s forum was centred on Pope Leo XIV&#8217;s encyclical <em>Magnifica Humanitas<\/em> and brought together Catholic AI companies, investors, researchers and Church leaders.<\/p>\n<p>In his opening remarks, Cardinal Michael Czerny SJ, a founder of the Vatican&#8217;s inter-dicastery commission on artificial intelligence, warned that &#8220;we are all impacted by AI but nobody&#8217;s listening&#8221; to one another. Forum CEO Vincent Higgins said the event covered four areas: AI in evangelisation, healthcare, education, and the responsible building and scaling of AI with safeguards.<\/p>\n<p>Child safety was a strong theme. Megan Garcia, whose son died by suicide after forming an attachment to a chatbot, called for accountability, third-party testing before release, and limits on the use of children&#8217;s data. Montse Alvarado reminded participants that &#8220;AI is not a person, AI is a tool,&#8221; while Bishop Stephen Wang spoke about AI and priestly formation.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note from Evangelii Network Japan: This comment is our own and not part of the EWTN News report or a statement by the Builders AI Forum.
